Volunteers Week

We currently involve 70 volunteers across the organisation, all based here in the UK. Shared Interest could not make the impact we do without the support of these dedicated individuals. From inspiring others to invest by delivering talks and running stalls, to translating our website so we can communicate better with our customers, our volunteers really do make a big difference.

Means support to the poorest in developing countries and opportunities of developing new skills for people that lack resources.

What do you most enjoy about volunteering?

I enjoy to increase my knowledge about Fairtrade and be able to tell people that ethical investment is possible.

Which Shared Interest customer story do you most like sharing?

Coffee farmers in Peru. I think the impact in the community is great.

What is your favourite fair trade product?

My favourite product is coffee because I love it and it is typical from my country.
